Hey Doc, er, Gary... good to put a name with a face now. Thank goodness for your wife's intervention.
Too many doctors tend to brush off symptoms that are so obvious to us now. My niece's 45 year-old-husband was having male issues and was told it was a prostate infection. After the THIRD round of antibiotics didn't work, he had such pain one day that he had to drive himself to the ER. After several tests, he was told he had advanced liver cancer and a large colon tumor was discovered the next day. They admitted him on the spot and started aggressive chemo but it was too late by then. So sad as he was at the top of his career and they had three young boys ages 11, 9, and 7. He lasted six months after diagnosis. I can't help but think he should still be here but for their thinking that a healthy and fit 40-something man could not have anything too serious.
But we can't rewrite history and have to put ourselves in Drive every day to move forward. I do however, spend lots of time in Neutral!
